Pakistan v Australia | 2nd ODI | October 10, 2014 | Dubai | Pakistan Innings

[Justcrazy]

Need to play positively against spin.

 

[razabbas]

good four

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I like they are taking singles and doubles..... good attitude.

 

[imshally81]

:

 

[Sam18696]

Shehzada

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Just the type of bowler Pak loves giving wickets to.

You know what Pakistani batsman are facing him

Sarfraz can take him on.

 

[Justcrazy]

Cover drive.

 

[saiyan0312]

awesome inside out shot.

 

[Sam18696]

So far so good

 

[saiyan0312]

These two are awesome runners.

 

[Justcrazy]

One of the openers need to bat through here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad playing beautifully.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Now in this thread we aren't seeing the people who hate Shehzad. They will come once he's out.

 

[hussain.r97]

Nice steady start, good to see Shezzy striking above 80...

 

[razabbas]

These two are awesome runners.

if shehzad can rotate strike on consistent basis he can be an asset for us

 

[aukhan]

Sarfraz already a better opener than Sharjeel.

 

[Jabo]

Pak only need 240

Aus won't be able to chase, a few a batsman may do something or may not, no Watson or Clarke hurts them

 

[Haseeb 22]

Sarfraz showing to everyone that he is just not filling up the Karachi quota in this team and has some worth

 

[aukhan]

Ahmed in trouble..lbw review.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Australia should have played Hughes instead of Faulkner and Starc instead of Abbott. Both the batting and bowling look a bit weak now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

77 more for SHehzad.

 

[aukhan]

ahmed is saved.

 

[Varun]

Pakistan are batting phenomenally here.

 

[supersix]

hope Asad doesn't kill all the momentum..

 

[Varun]

Rotating the singles constantly and a good punch for four every now and then. That's the way to do it.

 

[hussain.r97]

Common Sarfraz, sweep him all the way back to Karachi! :Afridi

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

is he playing proper shots?

 

[waleed88]

nazar na lagao bhaiyo.. Say mashaAllah

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad being positive which is good.

 

[hussain.r97]

Shot!

 

[razabbas]

Australia should have played Hughes instead of Faulkner and Starc instead of Abbott. Both the batting and bowling look a bit weak now.

bowling is still good but batting seems weak

 

[ammar93]

That was lazy from Sarfaraz.

 

[saiyan0312]

Aussie fielding is off the scale.

 

[Sam18696]

Dat fielding.. Sarfraz has luck on his side.

 

[aukhan]

wow good fielding there.

 

[razabbas]

yaar kya feilding krta hain ya log

 

[waleed88]

Im not even watching the match today.. Im reading the commentary here and on cricinfo.

I have a feeling watching the match will curse Pakistan battings good looking position

 

[Bullet Drive]

Boys looking good. Must not throw it away.

 

[razabbas]

Lyon

 

[imshally81]

Lyon on

 

[Sam18696]

hope Asad doesn't kill all the momentum..

Damn I almost forgot Asad is next

Lyon on

 

[Justcrazy]

45/ O

10 overs

 

[aukhan]

Its been a while since our openers survived 10 overs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

This is period where all u need to do is rotate strike.

 

[Haseeb 22]

Lyon troubling Pak batsmen early on

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

Flying start.

 

[Sam18696]

Sarfraz tukking

 

[razabbas]

just rotate strike against lyon no need to go for big

 

[razabbas]

Flying start.

flying ?

 

[Hawkeye]

Very very good going.

Sarfraz as usual taking singles but seeing Shehzad take singles is a refreshing and rare sight!

 

[Haseeb 22]

Fantastic over by Lyon

 

[Hawkeye]

SHehzad need to stay in the crease!

Unnecessary risk and he can always misread the spin, too susceptible.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzada rotating strike.

 

[Ikball]

Salam, just tuned in. Good going at the moment.

I pray for Pak victory and Misbah's 100 today.

 

[waleed88]

Sarfaraz needs to get to 20 and I'll be relieved

 

[waleed88]

Anything below 20 doesn't look good.

A 20 in the Pakistan lineup guarantees you a spot in the next game

 

[Amjid Javed]

Decent start here but we need to start picking the rate up here and also one of these two guys needs to bat the whole inns.

 

[Ikball]

200+ will be a winning total here with babar, Raza & Afridi bowling on a spinning track.

 

[Sam18696]

50 partnership

 

[razabbas]

finally a 50 run stand

 

[saiyan0312]

I have yet to see aussies mess up in the field 50 partnership.

 

[razabbas]

Shabash sarfraz bohat alla aisa he chiya

 

[DW44]

The second rate hit or miss pseudo medium pace tripe (Afridi) was the leading wicket tacker in last ODI

And wicketless in the 6 before that one, hence the 'hit and miss qualifier', averages 34(38 against proper teams) hence the 'tripe' label.

 

[waleed88]

Anything below 20 doesn't look good.

A 20 in the Pakistan lineup guarantees you a spot in the next game

 

[Madplayer]

200+ will be a winning total here with babar, Raza & Afridi bowling on a spinning track.

its hardly spinning

 

[Sam18696]

Dat strike rotation <3

 

[Amjid Javed]

If a wicket falls and i hope it doesnt fall anytime soon we need to send in a positive scoring batsmen in next to keep the momentum going.

 

[Ikball]

Refreshing to see 50 runs opening partnership, since a long time we tend to lose 3-4 wicktes before 50.

 

[saiyan0312]

faulkner focusing on the angle of the ball. He is angling it soo much that he is predictable on the leggish side.

 

[razabbas]

tbh if thought sarfraz will be a sitting duck in LOI's but he is really doing well here

 

[m.shah]

Need to play loin well

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Still getting a free ride in Misbah XI, mindblowing!!!

 

[aukhan]

And wicketless in the 6 before that one, hence the 'hit and miss qualifier', averages 34(38 against proper teams) hence the 'tripe' label.

exactly

 

[Mr Consistent]

almost gone

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sarfraz doing bad vs spin.

 

[aukhan]

Still getting a free ride in Misbah XI, mindblowing!!!

Misbah ka chaheeta

 

[Lords]

Good start so far. Need to hold on to wickets for 20 overs at least.

 

[imshally81]

 

[m.shah]

4

 

[saiyan0312]

slog sweep works.
